This is the most beautiful woman, both inside and out, that I have ever known. I have never looked up to or respected anyone more than I have her. She was loving and dedicated, she was warm, and strong and wise. She was my best friend. She is my Mom ! I'm so proud to see you here. You live on inside of me and I Love You so much. ♡

This is a photo of Franklin Elementary School which was located on Chihuahua St. and Overland on the west side of El Paso, Texas. Sadly it has since been demolished, and only one original building from the site survives. The school taught 1st through 6th grade students.
